The Beauty Expo, Sydney 8-9th August

Sharon and I have had a ball this weekend at the Beauty expo. It was a little smaller than previous years but the place was jumping, the orders were flowing and the lectures were well attended making for  a full on weekend of beauty heaven!

We met some amazing people with some great stories to share – stay tuned for features on our expo stars!  There were so many highlights – most of which will be investigated later.  However, to whet your appetite we bring you news from:

Those cheeky folk at Bamboo Lashes – Their eyelash product promises to give you extra length within 6-8 weeks all through naturally derived ingredients (who could go past that!)  Sharon lovingly volunteered to give the product a fair hearing and has agreed to share her picture diary with us as she goes from no-lash to wow-lash from the comfort of her own home.

Sharon agrees to take the Bamboo Lashes 8 week trial!

Mascara TUBES? We were intrigued so gave it a try. I put my hand up this time and had a little play with this innovative mascara from BLINC. The mascara goes on like usual but once applied it forms tubes around each eye lash which are easily removed with water. More info about how this does this will be available in a later story – some science magic!

We couldn’t go past the Naked Tan stand. These guys seriously know how to work an expo. Their peacock feathered bikini girls brought the crowds flocking to this high performance, Australian owned and made fake tan brand. Cool!

We can’t wait to interview the inspirational and visionary Michelle, founder of  Waterlilly. She has promised to share her journey from beautician to brand diva with the Realize Beauty readership.  This lady rocks the salon world!

And many more including Eminence’s fruit basket, Magic Peeling exfoliation glove (chemical free skincare that we are both excited about), Skeyndor‘s stem cell cream, Skin Juice with their passion and vision and Pure and Green‘s carbon conscious range with innovative packaging and locally sourced ingredients.

We can’t wait to share a few more of our stories with you and introduce you to some of the spa worlds best kept secrets. But for now, bed time. There is only so much shopping a girl can do…..
